[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 3834573, member: 32536"] For the sake of this discussion, the only reasonable thing to do is completely seperate [i]Anime[/i] from Asian. If you assume that [i]anything[/i] of Asian influence is an anime influence, then [i]of course[/i] you will find anime influence. But that is about as useful as saying that anyone using New York as the setting for a novel was possibly influenced by Spiderman comics. It is impossible to sort through, and not necessarily true. The only useful thing to do would be focus on the well-defined history of anime itself. Anime is an art form which started in the mid 1960s with the work of Osamu Tezuka and his contemporaries. His manga, and the first TV series based on his manga, are the origin point of all midern manga and anime. If we are going to say anything useful about anime at all, we need to limit our discussion to the particular set of Japanese animated shows that hail from that tradition. After all, if you start talking about [i]asian[/i] influences, it leaves me perfectly free to counter with "Hong Kong kung-fu films" and you [i]can't[/i] counter that. If you claim that something is anime-influenced, and I provide an alternative source of influence, it weakens your argument. If you talk about something specific to anime, then I don't have such an easy way to counter your argument. So anyways, other than vague similarities to traditional asian mythological creatures, there is nothing "anime" about the ravid. Not anime. The Ice Creature in that one picture reminds me of the ice creature in Disney's Hercules movie. Other than that I say the pose is not anime-influenced, and I can't really say concerning the elf girl. I guess she might be more of an anime elf... Not a bad picture, even though I can't figure out what is supposed to be going on. I don't see what is supposed to be anime-influenced in the sunset picture. Mialee is the anti-existence to anime elves. Further, I demand that you atone for the crime of inflicting one of the [i]ugliest[/i] Mialee images upon us. That kind of art makes me wish for greater anime influence even more. [/QUOTE]
